Being a lorry driver and a biker, i can see both sides, the lorry presumably carrying a wide load would have been driver slower than normal and depending on the degree of the bend would depend on how much of the opposite lane he was using, if indeed he was carrying a wide load then as said he should have had an escort and flashing beacons

That said, I was always taught to ride in such a manner that i can avoid oncoming hazards, if said bend was a left for the bike then even if he was on the white line then he should have been able to see the truck in time to avoid it if he was riding in a safe manner.

But as said we don't know the facts so i blame the field of Alpacas
